Coming 2028
Four new projects expanding the J.E. Walker universe in 2028, a sequel to the Inferno Saga's Roman world, two expansions into the Transaundar and Fareun magical dimensions, and an original standalone narrative. All handwritten during incarceration and now being developed for publication and screen adaptation.
Bane of Rome
"Rome destroyed Carthage. But Carthage left something behind that Rome could never kill."
Set in the aftermath of the Inferno Saga's world, Bane of Rome follows the forces, bloodlines, and warriors who continue the war against Roman empire long after Hannibal's era ends. The legacy of Arkanis, the mythological consequences of the God War, and the enemies Rome never anticipated combine into a new chapter of the cinematic historical universe. A standalone epic with full franchise potential connecting to the Inferno Saga mythology.

2028Transaundar: Dark Order
"Not every war in Transaundar is fought with wands. Some are fought with shadows."
A dark expansion into Transaundar, the magical world at the heart of the Grinnivale Chronicles and the wider J.E. Walker mythological universe. The Dark Order reveals the hidden criminal and political underworld beneath Transaundar's magical kingdoms: secret societies, shadow magic, corrupted bloodlines, forbidden dimensions, and a threat older than Grinnivale Hall itself. A prestige fantasy epic set within the established Transaundar universe and designed for large scale cinematic adaptation.

2028Fareun: Dark Order
"Reniyah followed a gold coin through the waterfall. The Dark Order followed her back."
A darker, escalating sequel expanding the magical world of Fareun, first introduced in Grinnivale's: Waterfalls, into full epic fantasy territory. The tree castles, gnomes, shifting time, and ancient gateways of Fareun are now threatened by the Dark Order, a shadow force that has been hiding within the living world's walls since before memory. Reniyah must return to a world she barely survived to face what followed her home. Built for cinematic visual spectacle and franchise expansion.

"Some roads were never meant to cross. Some people were."
Cross Path is an original standalone narrative in the J.E. Walker catalog, conceived and handwritten during incarceration alongside the full universe of projects. A powerful, character-driven story built around convergence, destiny, consequence, and the moments where lives that should never intersect are pulled together by forces larger than any individual choice. Full details and genre positioning to be announced. Available for early rights inquiry and development conversations.
Original standalone narrative. Built for screen adaptation from inception.
